I think this decentralization and federation is what web3 is all about, without all the corporations calling everything to do with monkey pixel art that costs a million dollars "web3"

Is Jerboa on Android the only application currently?

[โ€“] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

AFAIK yes, but until Spez conveniently ruined his site, Lemmy had like 2% of the user base it just gained. Jerboa is even made by the Lemmy developers IIRC. So now that the usage has spiked, Iโ€™m sure there are other developers thinking about it. Hell, Iโ€™m considering building an iOS app myself!

Yeah I think so. It's not too bad tbh, but would love to see this ecosystem flourish.

This is why I'm hoping people stay even after the blackout. Lemmy has potential but a big part of it is the community. I already like it here and I've seen it grow despite being here for only a week. It's honestly amazing to watch.

I'm definitely here to stay. Reddit is now reportedly working on blocking the site on mobile browsers. It's not a stretch to assume they'll kill old.reddit, too, to maximise profits.

if old reddit dies the platform dies

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I saw that. That's honestly stupid, imo. I mean, they can still track you and force feed you ads. Sure you can have an adblocker but that's the same for mobile.

Idk why they'd do that, tbh.
